Hi! I am Aiste

A few years ago, I used to be what is commonly called a ‘top fashion model’, working in Paris, New York or London for major international brands and designers.

I also have a camera grafted on my left hand, and can’t help taking and sharing pictures of my best food discoveries! You can take a look at my blog: www.luxeat.com

Aiste was born and raised in Lithuania. Besides professional modeling at the top level, she has studied business and finance in Paris, and is now a regular contributor to the best-selling Lithuanian magazine Moteris.
